This article may becoming close to a good article candidate, according to the guidelines regarding good articles. Current needs include:

• A review against the standards in Wikipedia Manual of style.
• A review of whether the cited sources are essential and properly placed. Some sources are cited early in the article for a fact and then not cited later.
• A review of whether the focus is on the main topic without non-notable trivia. I believe the article to be well structured, with sufficient details to support notability of the topic and significant events and people related to the topic.
• A review against the neutral point of view policy. I believe neutrality is strong. Currently, the article does not advocate any financial or market system, architecture style, politicla figure, or position within the trading industry.
• Additional graphics depicting statues or art-deco features.
• Additional details of interior design or function for any of the buildings or locations, e.g. quantitative facts of floor space, offices, technology upgrades, employees served, etc.
  • Added facts for floor space and pic of trading floor ChicagoPimp 20:00, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chicago Pedway

I removed the following: The building is connected to surrounding properties via the Chicago Pedway, a system of pedestrian passageways. The supposed parts of the Pedway that the city shows on its map ([1]) do not connect to any other portions of the Pedway and are 1) an open-air sidewalk and 2) an overhead bridge that has been off-limits since soon after 9/11.
